TampaTech Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I've seen a lot of Palm Warblers this fall and a few Black-and-white ones but hadn't bumped into one of these previously. Can you confirm it's a Magnolia Warbler? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floraphile Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I think Yellow-Rumped Warbler, but wait for the experts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TampaTech Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 I find these warblers to be puzzling. I expected to see more yellow on the rump of a yellow-rumped and thought white underparts and a black tipped tail pointed to Magnolia. I am sure I'll have them all figured out eventually if I hang out here long enough. Thanks for the ID! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 The rump is on TOP of the bird at the base of the tail and is often covered by the wings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TampaTech Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 OK, there you go. The second picture is a good match. And yes, I didn't get to see it from above so no yellow rump from my perspective. Thanks for the additional info. It seems like once I've asked for help with an ID I end up seeing that bird all them time. I'll be able able to spot a yellow-rumped from a mile away now. ?

The first image is in breeding plumage, unlike the grabber winter colors in the second. There are also a couple of subspecies that have more or less yellow or black but you won't have them in Tampa. Either way, they all have that yellow blob year round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find any of my own that show the body part under discussion. But this one's mine @TampaTech, note the yellow 'wingpits'. Those are pretty constant too.

TampaTech Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 "wingpits". I didn't know that was a thing. I'll be able to remember that, for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Hillsborough County Florida where the Palms outnumber the Yellow-rumped by a little this time of year. I'm sure I've seen many Yellow-rumped though and just mistook them for Palms. This is all good information. I keep learning, albeit slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen many yellow rumped warblers and only five or so where I actually saw the yellow rump! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
